I've been searching for a good, economical and reliable huntin' gun lately and today I found one at the Dallas Market Hall show. I picked me up a used Marlin 336 lever-action in .30-30 for a STEAL! I can't wait to go shoot it. It's already got the scope rail on it, so all I hafta do is find me...

I was talking to an NRA-ILA rep today at the Dallas Market Hall show, and he told me the MMMr's are going to hold an anti-gun rally tomorrow at the Kennedy Memorial at 6:30 pm. All TFLr's, (especially wives & SO's) in the Dallas area need to come w/ posters to show them that there are women out...

I know this is old news, but I've been busy homeschooling and such since we got back from the trip. Anyhoot, I've just now gotten around to posting our pictures of the Meet at Gunslinger and Terri's up at Photopoint if anyone's interested. We have some of the same pictures everyone else does...

I was looking thru my Shooter's Bible for an economical hunting rifle and ran across NEF. They have a Break-action rifle w/ synthetic stock listed for $219-$224. I know w/ firearms, you usually get what you pay for (which is why I buy SIGs in handguns). :) So I thought I'd throw this out to...

At the EOSM a couple of weeks ago, I shot my new 22/45, only now I can't get it to break down so I can clean it! I can get the mainspring housing opened and pivoted out, but the bolt stop pin REFUSES to come out! I've tried "tapping on it w/ a plastic hammer" as the manual suggests, and am about...

I recently recieved an Andrea Bocelli CD for my birthday and was blown away by the words to one of the songs: Tremo E T'Amo I love you and I'm trembling Said the woman To her soldier Who wouldn't be coming back Her plaintive voice Was carried by the wind Across the chilling snow To where her...

My husband and I just bought our first AR today at a local gunshow, and after much deliberation decided to go w/ a DPMS. We decided on a "shortie" w/ a 16" barrel, A3 sight and 1:9 twist. The barrel has these (forgive my lack of knowledge) grooves down it. The man we bought it from said it was...

A year ago today, while investigating Oleg's site, I stumbled across a link to TFL... and the rest is history!!! I have watched this forum grow from barely 1,500 members when I first signed up to almost 6,000 today. A year ago, I wasn't "into" the RKBA side of firearms all that much. I liked...

Well, Gary Graham is dead, as of 8:49 pm. I for one am glad that GWB stood firm and didn't grant the guy clemency (ie cave in to the political pressure he's been under). Hoorah for him! ------------------ --------------------------- "Pray as if your life depends on God, Prepare as if it all...

I can't remember, what does the Parkerized blued finish look like on a Mossberg shotgun, as compared to their standard blued finish? (Or are they one and the same?) Thanks for helping me out. ------------------ "At last we shall reveal ourselves to the Gun-Grabbers, at last we shall have...

This is an excerpt of an article I found in yesterday's edition of the Dallas Morning News. The writer's name is Arianna Huffington, and she's definitely "huffing" out her share of hot air in this column! All BOLDS are mine. The Mauling of America Filed June 5, 2000 The NRA wants to make...

I saw in the late late late news tonight (during another bout of insomnia) that the Brady Bill's background check stopped 204,000 gun sales last year. The interesting thing is that that number was out of about 8.5 million guns sold! My husband did the math and said that works out to about 1/4 of...

I've been searching the web on info about those four states gun laws and haven't had much luck, so's I was hoping some of you would help me out. To get to the TFL Meet, my family and I will have to travel thru OK to get to MO. Jedi and I both have CHL's and I know about the reciprocity...

I was perusing the "official" State of Illinois website a while ago and lo and behold, I came across this little gem of an article that really got my blood boiling. I just can't (actually I can, given that it's IL) believe that anyone would recommend that a woman defend herself from an attacker...

With the imminent acquisition of 2 shotguns, Jedi and I are wanting to purchase a gun-safe in the near future. Neither of us really know much about them, but we do know that we want something big enough to hold handguns as well as long-guns, something that's "fire-proof," tamper-resistant...

One of the local news stations just aired a story (WFAA) about a CHL holder in Austin who is being tried for murder. Apparently, as he and his wife/fiance were going to their car, they caught a black man burglarizing it. The CHL holder drew his gun and told the man not to move so he could call...

Disclaimer: I want to say that Robin Cook is not my usual author to read. I much prefer Clancy, Cussler, Eddings and George RR Martin. Anyways, my Mom passed on a recent Robin Cook novel called Vector. Having finally read all 15 or so of the other books my husband has been pestering me to...

I am curious, does the prohibition of carrying in a "government building" include the Post Office? This portion of the CHL Law is unclear, and I would appreciate some clarification, if anyone knows. My local PO here in Dallas isn't posted, but I know that if they are included in the...

My daughter's 7th birthday is coming up, and she has asked for her first gun (now where's my box of Kleenex?). We are unsure as to what would be the best one to start her out on: a .22 revolver, or a .22 single-shot, junior-sized rifle (or an air gun, possibly)? I am leaning toward the rifle...
